MICHELLE MACHALE RETIRES
25+ Years of Service to Shaumbra
By Geoffrey Hoppe
Michelle MacHale was the first person we hired after officially starting the Crimson Circle. She was actually working as a volunteer before we employed her, while doing her full-time job as a Project Manager for a large telecommunications company in Denver.
I fondly remember meeting Michelle for the first time, even before the Crimson Circle was imagined. We had been chatting in the Kryon forum on America Online when I still lived in Texas, and the next thing I knew I was moving to Colorado for my start-up company. In a way it seems like ages ago, and in another way, it seems like just yesterday. The one thing I know for sure is that it was destiny. Crimson Circle needed to be in Colorado, and Michelle was already there.
The first time we met in person was at a restaurant in Boulder, Colorado with a group of other people including Steve and Barbara Rother. We hit it off right away. It felt like we’d known each other for lifetimes. It wasn’t too long after that when I started channeling Tobias. The small gatherings at our house turned into larger gatherings in the Coal Creek Community Center, and eventually the Crimson Circle Connection Center, our current studio and club.
Michelle was there every step of the way. She managed the website from nearly the beginning, worked the sales table at Shouds and events, handled customer service, helped set up our office at Lake Tahoe, Nevada (since closed), and did just about everything that needed being done. In her most recent years with Crimson Circle she was Manager of User Experience. You can still see her energetic fingerprint on nearly everything we’ve created over the years.
Now, after 25 years, Michelle is retiring. We’re all going to miss her. When I say “all’ it’s the Crimson Circle Staff of course, including the translators, web hosts, and Shaumbra from around the world. As well as Adamus, Tobias and Kuthumi. She’s been an invaluable human and angelic presence since the inception of this organization.
You can view her retirement video here (link), which features a number of Shaumbra who have known or worked with Michelle over the years. Then on Saturday, January 4, make sure to tune into the webcast at 1:45 PM Denver time (MST) for a toast and special tribute to Michelle. In the meantime, feel free to send a thank you email to Michelle at: customerservice@crimsoncircle.com.

Dear Michelle,

All Is Well In All Of Creation
Oh, OK, it’s a tribute. But is she enlightened? I mean – truly, because actually, I don’t even know who she was, so I don’t care about her (so called in a mugole world) retirement and that’s why I want to hear her story from a perspective of being right in the middle of the CC. What’s her feelings, what was her goal so to speak, what’s her story of the Path and is she enlightened?!
Btw… sometimes I wonder, how is that… the CC „works in the enlightenment sector” while still making these weird statements like „having a job”, „being so busy”, „retirement”, „vaccinations”, and being stuck in a time-loop of typical human life (xmas celebration, halloween celebration, birthday celebrations EVERY YEAR). In other words – why we need a story of retirement while we crave the stories of enlightenment and mastery, for f* sake!?!
Yeah. WHAT’S YOUR STORY MICHELLE??
I love honoring you. Thank you for sharing yourself for all these years with us, with me. You shared a warm smile with me every time I saw you. 😊. But I know you did so much behind the scenes – weaving your grounded wisdom into the heart of Shaumbra.
You deserve a Happy retirement. And i understand that you will still be “around” at least joining in virtually at the Shouds. So it’s not really goodbye
